They're probably crashing because of a memory problem. Try selecting
the application's icon and from the file menu select "Get Info..."
(Command i ). Increase the size of available memory to the program (I
usually increase it to the recommended or greater size.)

Another problem might be a bug in the preference file (Especially if
you're getting a Type 1 or 2 error). I know it's a pain but it's
easier to delete the preferences than it is to reinstall the software.
